I was in Pheonix Park, Runcorn, at 1220 hrs today when I am sure the Falcon over flew in descent towards the IOM.   Bins helped to partially read off the reg. But could one of our IOM colleagues confirm that it landed a short while later.

PS: another nice heads up from Hawker - thanks

Yep - the Falcon landed at 12.30 - this is the third use of the marks, which started out on a pre-owned 2000LX, then on a pre-owned 900LX, and now are on a brand new 7X c/n 266; all have had similar schemes with wavy yellow lines and a distinctive crest on the tail. It departed just before 1330 heading for Deans Cross, no doubt en-route to Russia.

Thanks again Hawker.

I think this is the first Manx reg to visit on three different aircraft ??

Thanks for the confirmation marquis.   The crest on the tail was very distinctive as was the wavy lines.    It was not tracking on FR24 and as a guess I would say at about 3,000 ft.

While waiting for the delayed M-TINK, the opportunity was taken to photograph ATP SE-LHX which up to now has been hidden in the engine running bay, slowly being robbed of parts. For anyone who wants a photo it is now rather nicely parked alongside SE-LGV, but pick a cold day (!) to cut down on the heat haze. Not difficult given the artic weather forecast!







Then M-TINK the Third arrived;
